Anna's only friend is M'rier, the slavey in their lodging-house. While walking in the park one day, Herr Kreutzer recognizes a certain exalted personage; greatly frightened, he flees to America with Anna. On the voyage she is saved from the undesirable attentions of Pietro Morosco by young Vanderlyn, a wealthy young man. He becomes interested in Anna and assists Herr to find suitable lodgings in New York. He secures a position for the girl as companion to his aristocratic mother, falls in love with Anna and proposes to her. She loves him, but declares she cannot marry him without her father's consent. He gives her a ring and tells her he is going to see Herr Kreutzer at once. Meanwhile, Mrs. Vanderlyn has seen the ring in her son's room, and it being near her birthday, feels certain he has purchased it as a birthday present for herself. The lady believes Anna has stolen it. A series of unpleasant complications occur, during which Herr Kreutzer takes from his pocket and opens an official-looking letter and triumphantly reveals himself to all as Count Otto Von Lichtenstal, who years ago incurred the Emperor's displeasure, but is now forgiven. The ring incident is satisfactorily explained by young Vanderlyn. When haughty Mrs. Vanderlyn sees the official signature and seal of His Excellency, her snobbish objections to the match between her son and Anna vanish, and she sensibly acknowledges she has made a mistake. Mr. Vanderlyn takes Anna in his arms, while Mrs. Vanderlyn gives her very gracious consent to their marriage and accepts the escort of "the old flute-player," now Count Otto.
